My 2 year old has had diarrhea since Friday. At first I thought stomach bug and hoped it was just a 24hr bug.
Thursday night she had no appetite and barely ate her dinner. Which was her favorite - pasta!
Friday she woke up very warm but no temp so we sent her to daycare. By 10am we got the call and was asked to come get her because her fever was at 101.2. By the end of the day the fever was gone but diarrhea started. Barely ate anything Friday night again.
Saturday no fever but still diarrhea in the morning /early afternoon. Literally within 30 minutes of anything entering her stomach. Which wasn't much. Just a few crackers. Saturday late afternoon no more diarrhea. She finally ate well for dinner and no diarrhea after dinner either!
This morning woke up more like her usual self and actually asked for breakfast! Ate well. No diarrhea all morning. Come afternoon diarrhea was back.
The biggest change in my mind is that Saturday after her morning cup I have her no dairy after reading that dairy makes diarrhea worse. That's when the diarrhea stopped. But this afternoon I shared a small bowl of ice cream with her. Within an hour that's when diarrhea started again.
My question is does the introduction of dairy really affect diarrhea that much? Or can she be lactose intolerant?
As a baby she was MSPI and I was on a loose elimination diet. Mainly major dairy and soy. She outgrew it at 1. Can she grow back into it???
Definitely plan in no diary all day tomorrow and see what happens. Here's hoping she has no diarrhea tomorrow otherwise I'll have to take a day off to stay home with her Tuesday.
